Hoboken Dual Language Charter School

The Hoboken Dual Language Charter School (HoLa) is an exciting new dual language charter school that opened its doors to students in grades K-2 in September 2010 (a grade will be added each year until the school reaches K-5). HoLa offers a traditional core curriculum through instruction in both Spanish and English to children of all language backgrounds. The program utilizes the well-established Two-Way Immersion approach to dual language education with a range of opportunities for creative expression and experiential learning. Students will become bilingual and biliterate in a culturally diverse and nurturing environment. All families are welcome; no previous exposure to a second language needed! Charter schools are free public schools funded by the State and operated independently of local school districts. After a rigorous application process, NJ Education Commissioner Lucille Davy approved the Hoboken Dual Language Charter School (HoLa) on September 22, 2009.
